Christopher & Merete’s Tiny Home Tour

The interior details of Christopher and Merete’s completed tiny house can now be seen. Looks amazing.

“Christopher and Merete own a tiny house on some of the most beautiful land in Colorado. One hundred miles southwest of Denver, fifteen minutes down a gravel road just outside Hartsel, sits a 127 square foot home. It’s cozy, efficient and costs hardly anything to power, but most importantly: it’s theirs. Christopher always wanted to own a home in the mountains but never realized how near the possibility was until he started reading about the ‘Tiny House Movement’.”

GreenOx Sheds for Tiny Houses

A new prefab shed on the market that might make a good tiny house. This one is only 8×8 but other models are said to be coming soon. This one was spotted at a Lowes in Colorado.

“The price for that 8×8 model is $2,800. A bit pricy maybe but a trade off with ease of assembly and insulation factor. I am sure the fire proof shell adds to that cost. With all of our dead pine trees and already dry summer, the fire proofing is getting a lot of talk here in the dry West.”

Mobile Log Cabins

One of my readers, Schaun, saw one of these rolling down the highway in Colorado and later sent me a tip on this tiny house manufacturer.

They don’t provide a lot of information on their website but they the cabins look like the real deal mounted on something like a mobile home trailer. So for someone looking for a turn-key log cabin this might be an excellent option. Thanks again Schaun!

Earthbag Glorieta

Kelly Hart posted the story behind the earthbag house that’s featured in the header of his blog, Earthbag Building Blog. It’s a Glorieta, a glorified gazebo of sorts, that was built during a workshop back in 2003 in Crestone, Colorado. Local materials, including the dirt around the house, was used to construct this little building.

Portable Log Cabins

log-cabin-forest-classics-portable-log-homeForrest Classics Log Homes in Colorado builds tiny log cabins on trailers. They don’t just look like traditional log cabins, they are log cabins. At first I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the photos because those things must weigh a ton! As it turns out they weigh 5 tons and the trailer has been beefed up to account for the massive weight of the log walls. Continue Reading…
